Live music picks for TUESDAY APRIL 17 through SUNDAY APRIL 22, 2012. TUESDAY APRIL 17 / THE KAISER CHIEFS / THE OPERA HOUSE / 735 QUEEN E / $45.50 / ALL AGES They've been gone for a minute, but now they're back. The Kaiser Chiefs were on a bit of a hiatus for the last three years, and it's safe to say that their show at the Opera House will showcase the fact that the band hasn't missed a step. They first came into prominence in the mid-2000s, [...]
Odd Future - NY (Ned Flander) Odd Future - Rella It is hard to believe that Tyler's 'Yonkers' video dropped just a lil over a year ago. Since then Odd Future have totally blown up beyond, I'm sure, what they ever imagined. In such a short amount of time anyway. Best part about them is they still remain just as they were, despite the constraints put on them with legalities and contracts and pressures from labels and the responsibility they now carry as recognised public figures. Lyrics which mean 'I [...]

We've posted G.A.N.G. before, but I'll bundle their two releases here now. 'Incantations' samples the classic Mike Oldfield & Maggie Reilly track 'Foreign Affair' (check out the live version here ). 1983 sunny Italo. MP3: G.A.N.G. - Incantations MP3: G.A.N.G. - KKK An unsurpassed milestone in European/African fusion, this is a head-on collision between traditional Central African vocals and uncompromising analog electronics. Resulting from a torrid encounter between Congolese singer Bony Bikaye, Algerian-born French composer Hector Zazou and mad scientists CY1, [...]

Piff Gang seem to catch a bit of flak for re-appropriating contemporary US rap. Fair enough if that's not your bag, but presumably these nitpickers chomp at the bit for looped breaks and samples - production techniques that came from across the pond anyway.
Ok so firstly two things to demonstrate how much I love this: a) usually I limit myself to one post a day so I don't burn all the stuff i find b) I really really need to be revising. But this needs to be heard. Originally broadcast in 2009 on BBC1Extra, this is an hour long mix celebrating hip hop since it's birth with Sugar Hill Gang. And what a journey it takes you on. It's nuts, you gotta listen to it from front to back. PARTY PEOPLE YOUR DREAM HAS NOW BEEN FULFILLED [...]
Was it another classic year in music in 2011? Does it matter? We still got to hear so much great music. Irish bands are coming on in leaps and bounds, and are mostly exceedingly generous with their music, with much of it available for free. Further afield, 2011 saw the [Read more]
The votes are in, the arguments have been settled, and the fights concluded without too much bloodshed - The Thrash Hits Top 20 Albums of 2011 list is here. We polled all of our writers, photographers, and contributors as to what their favourite records of the year have been, and through a series of complex [...]
g.a.n.g. - "incantations" (download) An early 802s Italo disco "cover" of Mike Oldfield 's "Foreign Affair ." Much more upbeat and a bit more dance-able. I've already sampled the hell out of it.
Love Tempo goes down again , this time on that night of nights that will only come once in our lifetime, 11/11/11. Last time they had LA Vampires (100% Silk/Not Not Fun) as the special guest DJs, shit got deep, it got wild and it was really really really really really really fun. Love Tempo the third is upon us; and it's still not serious, it's about letting it all hang out. Love Tempo DJs doing it for kicks, claps & edits. It's at The Buffalo Club on 11/11/11 at 11:11pm. $5 / $10. You [...]
Rock outfit And So I Watch You From Afar are thrilled to announce the release of BEAUTIFULUNIVERSEMASTERCHAMPIO N via Sargent House, one of the tunes off their new full length record Gangs out 11.08.11. Known for their unrelenting tours that have seen them play over 300 shows since the start of 2009, Belfast, Ireland's And So I Watch You From Afar (ASIWYFA to their fans) don't know how to take a break. From appearances at SXSW, Eurosonic, Electric Picnic, Novarock, Canadian Music Fest, Popkomm, Pukkelpop, Sonisphere, to tour dates in Europe, [...]
Gangs by And So I Watch you from Afar The album above is the latest release from the Irish instrumental rock group And So I Watch You From Afar. Their album is getting a North American release this November via Sargent House , which made me reconsider overlooking the band. While I'm still not a huge fan of this release, the grooves on this thing are pretty nasty. These guys are about as invigorating to listen to as, let's say, Maserati or something along those lines, sure. If strong riffs, melodies, [...]
Maurice Garland sent this picture over and I was immediately at a loss for words. I'm not anymore, so let's talk. Let's start by giving the people at Matix the [...]
Tonight's concert picks: When it comes to indie-rock bands that are composed of romantically involved couples (Mates Of State, The Rosebuds, Handsome Furs), Hank And Cupcakes offers something slightly off-kilter. For one thing, the married pair hails from Israel; for another, along with their silly adopted monikers, the two sport a cheerfully irreverent sensibility. The video for "Hit" features Hank And Cupcakes cavorting in nothing but body paint. With growing popularity and a new album in the works, Hank And Cupcakes is poised to spread its dance party aesthetic beyond the band's Brooklyn base. Hank And Cupcakes performs [...]
You will have heard '7 Billion People All Alive at Once' by now if you had bought And So I Watch You From Afar's latest album Gangs. Jape has since gotten his hands and ears on it and come with with a remix that is longer than the original and [Read more]
